[quote=Anonymous]Oof, I know this one too well. Take the high road. Be polite. Don't lose your sh*t (like me). I lost it when ex-h let a new gf take my daughter shopping for her first bra. They dated less than 6 months. I recently lost it when the new (<1 yr of dating) gf posted online for National Daughters Day (whatever that is). She posted pics of MY kids, and a long sappy post about being there when they have their first breakups, and learning to drive. And a bunch of other over the top mom stuff. I completely lost it on ex-h. Not proud of myself. Anyway, be nice, polite, collected. You are the mom. Nobody can replace you. Ever. It's going to be ok. The supply of love is not finite. Your kids can love the gf, and love you, their father,  etc. Having another caring, stable adult role model for them is not a bad thing. My kids can now come home and tell me how much they love the gf, or how fun she is, or whatever. It doesn't mean they love me less. This is hands down the hardest part of divorce for me - losing time with my kids, and having to "share" my mom role in any manner. It sucks. Hopefully your ex chooses a decent gf.[/quote]
